THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF IMC TO ANTIVIRAL RESEARCH Nucleos(t)ide analogs are a major class of approved antiviral drugs that exert therapeutic effects through incorporation into viral DNA and RNA to inhibit virus replication. Viral polymerase complex is a promising target for the development of anti-influenza drugs, because transcription and replication are critical steps for virus propagation. Potential applications of microbial products in anti-HBV drug development Approved nucleos(t)ide analogs competitively inhibit DNA elongation of viral polymerase after the conversion to triphosphate form by cellular enzymes. ./cache/cord-325280-4whzcmqv.txt ./txt/cord-325280-4whzcmqv.txt
